Default Re: Poll: IQ

This is based on no solid data, but my hunch is that the majority of successful poker players would score in the superior range of IQ's (above average but below genius level).

I find it hard to believe that many geniuses would become so fascinated with a game that although it has many nuances, is not particularly complex.

Now don't misunderstand me, I am sure that there are geniuses who are pro poker players. Personally, I would doubt that the majority are this intelligent.

As far as our little survey, I have a feeling people are being generous with themselves. For someone to have an IQ above 150 is very rare indeed.

I for one will admit I have never scored that high.
